About me

Outside of tech, I mostly enjoy staying in, away from the noise and close to my two cats. I do love travelling though, especially when it involves hiking, good food, or both. So far I’ve been to 30 countries.

I’m passionate about cinema, from indie to cult classics, and always appreciate a good recommendation. I mostly read fiction, and have a soft spot for sci-fi and dystopias.

Also, I bake. Not as often as I'd like, but it's one of my favorite ways to unwind and do something by hand, away from the screen.
